"A POISONED DAGGER"
1t Was Placed in PoWderly's
Hands TO Stab Parsons With.

CHICAGO, Dec. dyer ID. Lum, sue
cesSOr of the executed anarchist, Par
sons, will make statement in his paper
tomorrow regarding Powderly's denun-
citation of the resolution asking clemency
for the condemned anarchists, intro
duced at the Minneapolis convention.
Lum says the action of the convention on
that resolution was notice to the public
that the knights repudiated their broth
er (ParsonS) in his distress, and the
manner i'll which the poisoned dagger
was placed in the general master work
mans hands deserves some attention"
Before the Haymarket riot there were
two branches of the ''lnternatiOnaF' in
the cOuntry-the /. " T., a secret.
Oath-bOund organization. and the |. w.
Z. A., consisting of open clubs. The
executed men. Lum says, belonged to
the latter. There was open hostility be-
tween the leaders of the two organiza-
tiOns. and one of the members of the
/. w. A. named Stewart, who in
1886 edited labor journal in
Chicago, found means to crafty his
private spleen by compiling long and
sensational statement based upon the
OathS. rituals and secret circulars of the
organization of which he was mem
ber. This statement was artfully con-
trived, and was understood to repre-
sent the inner workings of the Organiza-
tion to which the executed men be-
lOnged. This, says Lum. was repub-
lished about month before the general
assembly met and was read by Pow
derly in the convention. Lum does not
question Powderly's honest belief in the
matter, but denOunces the imam who

The Great Transcontinental Lines Are
Still Endeavoring to Make an Ad-
vance In the Rates.
The Business Men of Duluth Are Seek.
ing to Have the Tariff Reduced
to That City.
Two Reports to Be Made By the Mem
bers Of the Pacific Railway
Commission.

The managers of the transcontinental
lines are still at work considering the
formation of new combination to en-
able them to enforce higher rates. All
the details for the formation of an aSso-
citation have been agreed upon and
nothing remains to be done except to
elect commissioner and toprovide rules
and regulations for the conduct of the
business. James Smith, formerly traffic
manager of the Wabash, is prominently
mentioned for the position of commits
siOner. The trouble with the OrganiZa-
ton seems to be the settlement of the
question of how, or in what proportion,
the subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company shall be paid by each line.
Most of the lines say that the Southern
Pacific, being most benefited by the
withdrawal of the competition of the
Pacific Mail company. should pay the
largest part of the subsidy. That road,
on the contrary, maintains that each
road should pay pro rata according to
the mileage. If the combination
is completed it is thought that
it will not last long Oh account of the
jealOuSies of the various lines. Besides
this it is claimed that the payment of a
subsidy is contrary to the interstate
commerce law, and will be considered a
discrimination in favor of the Pacific
Mail Steamship company. 1t is. there
fore, altogether probable that if the
roads charge eXOrbitant rates the Pacific
coast shippers will not stand it, and
will. in all probability, apply to the in
terState commerce law and ask for re-

Yesterday A. l.. Ordean, A. B. Chaplin,
B. Silbersteine and g. Everest, COM
mittee from the Duluth chamber of COM
merce, arrived in st. Paul for the pur-
pose of consulting with the railroad men
as to a reduction of rates from Chicago
to Duluth. 4 meeting was held in the
forenoon at the Ryan. the railroads be-
ing represented as follows: Minnesota
& Northwestern. J. A. Hanley; Omaha,
J. II. Clark: st. Paul IL Duluth, MeSSrS.
Dodge and Rockwell; Wisconsin Cen
tral. Mr.. Hughey; Milwaukee & st.

that the Milwaukee, Lake Shore &
Western was not present, nothing
was done but to adjourn till )
o'clock in order to give time to
telegraph to the absent road to get
its views. The absent road could not
be heard from, and at 5 clock the adj
jOurned meeting was held. The Duluth
committee set forth the object of its
visit, which, in substance, was to secure
the same rates from Chicago to Duluth
as are made to st. Paul. This propo-
SitiOn, the committee was Informed, was
wholly out of the question. The rail
road men would not even take it under
consideration. Finally a proposition
was made to make reduction OF 10
cents per 100 pounds on the highest
class and scale down to ) cents on the
fifth class, and from cents down to 215
cents on the lower classes. This was
discussed pretty freely, and it is likely
that it will be adopted, though it is by
no means certain. The committee
seemed to be satisfied with the result,
and one of the members of it so ex-
pressed himself

But kind Providence was looking

the corner. A glance and she looked in

well-0rganized S. p. c. A. on the spot,
and, dropping her parasol, she seized
the two young NerOS with Vigor which
aStOniShed them, and the way their
two heads came together and the shake
they got would have done the editor of
Our Dumb Animals good to see. A few
forcible words of advice, a push,
and they were off, Sadder and
perhaps wiser. The lady picked
up her parasOI, then looked at the
poor little parcel of fur-cOvered bones.
Here was a dilemma. If the case had
been my own L would have been en-
tirely at loss. A starved cat is hardly
a piece of portable property to be cOy-

A ReIIioerant Mayor.

DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-At a meeting of the
corporation to-day Lord Mayor Sullivan
stated that his name had been omitted
in the commission which is to open the

omission to be illegal and he intended
to accompany the Judges to court. MIR.
Sexton, high sheriff of Dublin, said he
would also accompany the judges, and
if Mr. Sullivan was refused a seat on the
bench he (Ir. SeXton) would leave the
court and would decline to recognize the
courts authority in any orders it might
issue. Mr.. Sexton was unanimously
elected lord mayor TO succeed Mr.. Sulli-

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-'Home and Lib
erty" was the burden of the speeches at
battery ID this morning. The second
days session of the Prohibition national
conference was expected to be long
one, and therefore 9 O'Clock was the
hour set for the opening. The business
of the national committee was not all
transacted yesterday and the executive
session was continued at o'clock this
morning. The principal subject under
discussion was the appointment of dele
gates to the nominating convention.
The resolution was passed, THAT the
representation in the national cOnven-
ton of 1888 shall be on the basis of
twice as many delegates from each
state and territory as represented i'll
congress, these delegates to be selected
by such methods as may be decided
upon by the state committees" The
entire day was taken up with the dis
cuSSion of the various topics prepared
for the conference. The only incident
of general interest which took place was
when
\ HEATED DISCUSSION
took place between Mr.. Chaplin, of Wis
conSin, and the national committee, on
the question of the representation at the
national convention next June. 1t vas
finally agreed that the following prOpO-
sitiOn should be referred to the national
committee: That the basis of repre-
sentation be one from each congressional
district and one for each 800 voters"
When taken up in secret session by
the committee, tie Chaplin proposition
was rejected and the order remains as
at first adopted MIR. Chaplin, neverthe-
less, threatens to make an effort to have
the rank and file of the Pr0hibiti0nistS
unite and elect their delegates for the
coming convention upon the basis sug-
geSted by him and indorsed by the con-
ference to-day. Mr.. ChapIn'S idea is
that the delegates thus elected should
contest the action of the present officials

A Connecticut Girl Who Wanders
About With Lighted Lantern.
Danpury News.
In one of the vicinity towns there is a
young girl, about twelve years of age,
afflicted with strange mania. She is
large for her age, of fine physique, pos
sessed of good features and more than
ordinarily prepoSSeSSing. She is rObuStin
health and shows great activity, and is
unusually smart and intelligent, with
the exception of this mania. Every
night about o'clock she will go to
neighbours house to borrow lantern.
Each time she will make new excuse
for doing so. If she succeeds in getting
the lantern she then takes long walks.
She does not cOnfine herself to the pub
lie highways, but wanderS about the
fields and in the woods. She does
not seem to know what fear is, either of
man or beast. She frequently perches
herself upon fence and sits there
long time, dangling her lantern. About
10 o'clock she returns home and
goes to bed contented. Her friends,
of course, object to these lantern
strOllS, and she has to steal away. Those
of her neighbOrS who know about them
refuse her lantern. She has num-
ber of times greatly frightened persons,
which seems to please her amazingly.
She is in no respect wayward, but
seems possessed of strange and faS
cinating mania for lantern.
